Hope you all are stayin warm! I'm trying to find projects to do in the house without making a bigger mess. Making the spare bedroom into "THE CHICKEN ROOM" This house is so hard to heat I've got my beanie and jacket on .. sigh. Crankin the heat up, the wind just kills us here. Takin the fan out of a old computer to put in the hovabator before we run it again.
DH and I went to Syracuse yesterday and picked up some Silkie eggs from fernwoodj9 he had a little classified add on BYC.. Unpacked and set out and had 3 extras not a dozen woot! Never had Silkies this will be so fun. Pretty little eggs! well not so little for what I expected tho they are so nice. Some little 4H girls I know will like to have a couple of those chicks I bet.
The LaBresse eggs came this morning from PA with 3 extras as well. Very excited to get them started tomorrow. I still have 18 open holes in the egg tray
Going to pick up some beloved Delaware eggs from ranchr hicks next week so that will cover some empty spots.
The turkey eggs are doing ok so far, tomorrow is day 7 candle. DH and I are having a eggs candle party. I hope I can see something! The shells seem very thick. I checked the air cells on day four and one of the blue slates was still detached so that one is history. I'll be so happy if at least 2 of the three remaining Blue Slate eggs hatch, oh heck I'd be happy with just one! . There are 11 royal palms too. Crossin my paws. Still looking for more local turkey eggs pm me if you have some for sale thanks!
